No HandShakes In The Dark

Nah...

No handshakes in the dark.

I know exactly who you are.

No handshakes in the dark, I don't trust that grin,

Everybody plays a gangster till the pressure kicks in.

Pocket full of reasons, head full of scars,

Don't need no damn permission, I been raising the bar!

Big talk, little moves, better stay in your lane,

Whole lotta history, ain't naming no names.

Keep your friends real close, keep your business apart,

Ain't no handshakes, motherfucker, in the dark!

IN THE DARK! (Dark!)

IN THE DARK! (Yeah!)

Everybody wants a piece till they see what it costs!

I don't do the fake smiles, I can smell that shit,

Seen a hundred tough guys turn counterfeit.

Everybody got a story, everybody got a price,

Everybody wants the glory, ain't nobody paid the price.

I been moving through the mud with my boots still clean,

Got a reputation bigger than the shit they've seen.

I ain't looking for attention, I ain't chasing no crown,

But the room gets quiet when I come around!

Back up, act tough, everybody wanna flex,

Big mouth, small moves, tell me who's next?

I don't need a whole crew just to prove I'm legit,

Built a name outta nothing, put respect on that shit!

I came up where the wolves don't sleep,

Where the talk runs cheap and the scars run deep.

Got a cold-ass stare and a heavyweight heart,

Ain't nobody getting close when the lights go dark!

I don't fold, don't freeze, don't crack, don't bend,

Don't call everybody standing next to me a friend.

Keep your fake love, I don't need that part,

There ain't no goddamn handshakes in the dark!

Blacktop lessons, got a concrete mind,

I can spot a damn snake from a mile behind.

Never needed validation, never begged for respect,

I just let my reputation do the talking instead.

Keep the circle real small, keep the standards real high,

Seen a thousand fake soldiers with a thousand fake lies.

No bluff, no front, no borrowed identity,

Built from the pressure, that's a different kind of energy.

Don't mistake my silence for a lack of control,

Got a fire in my chest and some ice in my soul!

No handshakes in the dark, I don't trust that grin,

Everybody plays a gangster till the pressure kicks in.

Pocket full of reasons, head full of scars,

Don't need no damn permission, I been raising the bar!

I don't fold, don't freeze, don't crack, don't bend,

Don't call everybody standing next to me a friend.

Keep your fake love, I don't need that part,

THERE AIN'T NO HANDSHAKES IN THE DARK!

No handshakes.

No fake
